“This Behind The Scenes Class is SO SO SO GOOD!”

ANNIE MAE HERRING, UK

“I just finished the Behind the Scenes online mini course and I felt so inspired, I couldn’t wait to put what I learned into practice. The best part of the course was seeing Kimberly’s process from start to finish; my biggest take away is Kimberly’s planning process, I will definitely be incorporating her planning approach into my workflow. I’m so glad I did this course!”

LAUREN LEAR, USA

“I absolutely LOVED this mini course! It’s packed with amazing tips on how to structure your photoshoot, how to think through all the stages of the client journey and how to make sure all your images are cohesive. I think the biggest take away for me was how to correct your photography mistakes when you’re deep into a client shoot. I totally recommend this mini course to anyone looking to work with paying food photography clients!”
